My favorite is the cold start exhaust note.

Stand back there when it first fires up.

I’ll have to try that.

My neighbor has one, I was over there helping him with some stuff and he had to move it in his driveway. Started it up and I was like dang that sounds pretty good for a van haha.

I don’t care what anybody says, the thing is fun to hustle around the curves of the backroads around my house! Of course, on an extended backroad drive, the inadequacies (brakes, suspension, heft) would start to become noticeable. But it’s still fun.

Heck I’ve even thought about taking it for a day trip by myself out to Deal’s Gap/Cherohala, etc.

Can’t take the wife because she gets carsick.

Only problem is that she needs the van to haul the kiddos on the days I’m off.

Our youngest son just got one of those vans in November. He did that so he could force me to go on a long , over the road vacation with them since I can not travel too good by cars the last several years. That SKUNK!!! He knew I could not talk my way out of it once he had the nice van. It was well worth it and I appreciated it. They love the new van by the way... Good luck and enjoy yours.

Well, they are once overwhelmed - so I like to do early driveline dumps to clean them !

I do as well. The 6 speed in my Ridgeline is one of the lesser loved transmissions, so I give it a bit of extra love.

The IVTM4 AWD rear diff also requires a fluid change every 30K regular basis and honda mountain driving as severe so I do this every 20K.

That diff bolt was really put on, the no socket wrench only female plugs arent my favs.

Make sure to break it in right, dump a bag of chips into the seat! Courtesy of my 2 year old, right after we had the interior detailed and it looked like new. View attachment 214015

Growing up if my siblings or I did that, we would be forced to clean up the mess. To this day I do not tolerate making a mess in my vehicles.

Beautiful van and great buy. My wife's first choice was a Carnival but with only one child, she decided on the Palisade. So I understand the mental gymnastics. Lol

May your young family grow up with many years of safe, reliable transport. Who knows the kids might even give the Honda a nickname.
